Healing from Emotional Responsibility: EMDR & Letting Go of Others’ Feelings
Feeling responsible for others' emotions often stems from childhood experiences, such as parentification, emotionally unstable caregivers, or being rewarded for people-pleasing. Trauma, guilt, and societal pressures — especially for women — can reinforce the belief that it’s your duty to regulate others' feelings. EMDR therapy can help by targeting the root of these patterns, reducing emotional intensity, and helping you develop healthier emotional boundaries.
